The key strategy for controlling the alien component in natural and natural-anthropogenic communities is an inventory of species, including those in the territories of botanical gardens as sources of invasive plants. A total of 56 invasive species from 34 families of flowering plants was identified in the botanical garden of Vyatka State University. These are mainly perennial herbs. Species of the 1at (35.7 %), 2nd (28.6 %) and 3rd (28.6 %) invasive statuses predominate among them. Potentially invasive species (the 4th status) account for only 7.1 % of the species. Plants from Europe and Asia (39.3 %), Asia (25.0 %) and North America (21.4 %) dominate the invasive component.
